positoin of electrode is important your drag angle should be betweem 20 -30 deg
i would use a 16 tc ==E7016 type rod reverse polarity = electrode +
i would also have used a 3.25 mm rod
at around 110 amps
keep a square arc so arc length of arc = diamter of core wire this will improve the weld finnish
also did you check the polarity settings on the electroded box?
